It was loud, and fast, and yet even while watching it I could tell that it didn't make a lot of sense. Afterwords, it makes less sense. The characters were pretty good, but the stuff they did, and especially the stuff they said, was kind of dumb. The alternate universe device was well-applied. Old Spock did alright but pronounced a couple of the stupider plot points. Supernovas destroying galaxies? Black holes sucking up supernovas like vacuum cleaners?
Recommend: I understand why it had to be done. Maybe the next one will have a little bit of "science fiction" worked into it, and a scene or two of characters talking about something other than their feelings. Recommend.

i read a bit of background to the story on memory alpha, and it explained the spock "galaxy" line as meaning that the romulan home star was going to supernova, which would throw off the political balance of the galaxy.
so, that fixes one thing. with a black hole as a sun, the romulans would still all be killed by gamma rays, wouldn't they? maybe they would have a chance to escape.
I saw this today, and kinda wished old spock wouldn't have come back such peppy and upbeat vulcan.
ps: new uhura was my favorite... she's the closest to uhura from the original tv series. i think, anyway.
yay for big hands!
